The World League is a team match tournament between national teams on chess.com. The main purpose of the World League is to provide as many players as possible the chance to play against people from around the world in friendly competition. All players are asked to choose one World League team to play for at the beginning of the year, and to stick with that team for the rest of the season.

The rounds this year will start on January 15, February 15, March 15, April 15, May 15, June 15, July 15, August 15 and September 15.

Scoring System: Teams will be awarded 1 point for every match they win, and 1/2 point for every match they draw. Ties will be settled by Neustadtl score, as in other chess.com tournaments. Team match scores will be adjusted for all closed accounts and for players that are playing for multiple teams (in 2 or more matches for each of 2 or more teams). A player whose opponent is subject to an adjustment will receive 2 points. If both accounts are subject to an adjustment, the points will be split 1:1 regardless of the actual result.
